As if default keywords are the biggest deal-breaker.

Can someone explain how something as generic as a keyboard can be a subject to patents?

There are no bugs, it’s just not doing what you expect it to be doing…

… which, now that I think of it, can be said about all software in general.

You have a point unfortunately.

Implying the orange fella has any say in programming language design and general tech conventions

Fully agree with the sentiment, and at the same time I think it’s a lost battle. Even more so with more niche tech like cameras (where one is usually invested into an ecosystem instead of having just one piece of gear that can be sold on its own 5 years in - like a laptop).

TIL! Thanks!

I agree with the “learn the CLI”, but to newcomers I’ll also suggest to look at the IDE/editor’s output channel - if there’s GUI for Git, there are also most likely logs for what’s happening under the hood - even if a little noisy, it can be a good learning resource. And of course if you’re learning and unsure of what’s happening (with the CLI or through a GUI), do so in a non-destructive manner (by having proper backups).

That has the same energy as complaining that a file manager has “Delete” in the context menu.

I remember playing this on a Radeon 9550 GPU with 128 MB VRAM and being amazed at how well it was running at 1680x1050.

While I’m not saying it’s perfect, I still think it’s aeons better than Skype was shortly after its acquisition by Microsoft.

Probably depends on whether they see a difference between intentional and unintentional satire.

When you give the task to an intern-to-be.

I’d be screwed.

If all you have is a hammer, everything else looks like a nail.

Unfortunately “punish them by not buying it” won’t work for someone as big as them.

I’m saying that the sources of income are the same regardless of what the company structure or the software licence is.

Treat it however you want - from what I know even Mozilla has the same arrangement with Google and Firefox.

Partner integrations from what I know - search engines, bookmarks and so on.
